If you have a cold one month after surgery for pulmonary nodules, you should drink plenty of water and take rest. Colds are usually caused by viral infections, but they are self-limiting diseases that do not require special treatment and can be cured in about 1 week. Therefore, you can drink plenty of water and take rest to speed up your metabolism and promote the recovery of colds. However, if high fever occurs, in order to avoid adverse effects, treatment can be combined with antipyretic drugs such as acetaminophen to control the temperature to continue to rise, and seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Therefore, it is recommended to seek prompt medical attention and treatment under doctor’s supervision.
